The King Is My Mate

Gwendoline Moore's world collapsed that day. Not because she wasn't ready, but because she never imagined she would be this devastated.

She stood in the living room, wearing a white dress, a simple dress she had deliberately chosen to celebrate their third wedding anniversary.

Ethan didn't come with flowers or gifts that made Gwen fall in love, but instead brought painful news.

Three years of struggle, three years she spent mending Alpha Ethan Black's broken heart. Yet, in front of her, Ethan no longer saw her as his wife or even his mate.

The light of the full moon seeped through the large window, illuminating the cold living room. It was here, right in front of the fireplace that had always warmed them, that Ethan uttered the words that shattered all of Gwendoline's hopes.

"Gwendoline Moore," Ethan's voice was heavy, "I, Alpha Ethan Black, reject you as my mate and the Luna Black Pack. I sever all ties that ever existed between us."

Gwendoline's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousand ice daggers. Every word that came out of Ethan's mouth felt like a blow that shattered her soul.

She knew this day would come, ever since Marian, Ethan's true mate, had returned, and the two of them had been meeting often.

However, hearing those words directly, spoken so firmly on their wedding anniversary, made Gwendoline unable to breathe.

Gwendoline's eyes trembled, "Ethan... why? Is it because you want to go back to Marian?"

The question sounded stupid, but she said it anyway. She needed certainty, needed a reason more than just 'destiny.'

Ethan looked at her, his gaze no longer reflecting love, only guilt.

"It's fate, Gwen. Marian is my soulmate. We... we are not the fate decreed by the Moon Goddess."

"Not the destiny that was written?" Gwendoline's voice trembled, full of bitterness. "The three years we spent together, and now the Moon Goddess has created a new bond between us? And you say we are not destiny?" Gwen retorted bitterly.

"Your own father forced me to marry you, after you became depressed because Marian left you! "

"Maybe I am an orphan, who was asked to repay Sabian Black by becoming your wife and part of the Luna pack. I restored you from the darkness that enveloped you. I sacrificed myself for you, rebuilding you piece by piece. After everything we've been through, you just forget it?"

Ethan turned his face away. He couldn't bear to look at Gwendoline. "I'm sorry, but Marian is now pregnant with my child. Meanwhile, in the past three years, we haven't been blessed with a child," he said softly.

The man's words struck Gwen like a bolt of lightning. She never expected Ethan's betrayal to go that far.

"You betrayed me? Even before you rejected me, you were already cheating on me?" Gwen's heart was completely shattered. She felt that all her loyalty meant nothing at all.

"I'm sorry, I was unconscious, I was drunk, but I am the Alpha of the Black Pack, so I have to take responsibility, especially since it's my own flesh and blood."

Gwendoline's anger peaked. She couldn't stay here. She couldn't bear all this pain. Without saying a word, she ran, leaving the living room full of bitter memories.

She ran through the darkness of the night, her destination unclear, as long as it was far away from there. Her body transformed into Dhena, the wolf she possessed.

"Just kill that bitch, Gwen! She's a slut who's standing in your way!"

"No, Dhena! I don't want to stay and become Luna of the Alpha who never loved me, especially since he keeps bringing up the fact that I haven't been able to give him children."

Gwendoline ran into a rarely visited part of the forest, feeling the pain in her heart burning her entire body, and occasionally falling down. But she didn't care, as long as she was far away.

When she reached the riverbank, her tears fell, along with a scream, but it wasn't the voice of someone she knew. Who was it?

But her pain far exceeded the scream she heard. She didn't care, she just wanted to wash away the wounds in her heart.
